  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Blow off valve?

Hey all! I've been wanting to get a BOV for my 3.3T, not sure if there is one made yet or not sure what fits?
 
Isn’t there one by default?

Like most modern turbocharged cars, the G70 uses a recirculating bypass valve and not an atmospheric blow-off valve. Because the car uses MAP sensors and not MAF sensors there's no major risk in converting to atmospheric, but there would be a theoretical hit to throttle response because the car needs to rebuild air charge rather than use what's being recirculated. Really the only reason to do this is the "pssshhhh" sound on shifts.

That's what I thought in reading up on BOV's. If the only benefit is the sound...definitely not for me :) I would rather spend my money on enhancing the exhaust sound.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
In previous cars you could accomplish more sound by removing the baffles in the intakes, allowing actual turbo sounds to exist. Wonder if the same could be done in our car, darth Vader g70 anyone? :p

Putting on an aftermarket intake seems to make the recirculation valve/blow off valve sound much more noticeable - not as loud as an aftermarket blow off valve, but certainly louder than stock. Personally, I'd do that first and then if you still want something louder, go for it! But like PD705 said, there is no performance benefit.
 
I ordered the GFB dual tms respons kit and it was pretty straight forward install, took about 30 minutes or so. The thing I like about these are is they are adjustable for venting to atmosphere or re-circulation. IMO best of both worlds, not to mention adds a nice touch to the engine bay!

Hey Showexc, how have you liked having these on your ride?

Any issues with it?

Overall did you achieve the desired sound you were going for with them?

Here's a little trick for you:
Hover over the username and it will tell you join date and last seen date.
He hasn't been on the forum since May 7, 2020, so I doubt he's going to respond.

Do You Know if they made one for the 2.0t yet? if yes, where can i find one
 
Know this thread might be a little stale but has anybody had any issues with their BOV? As far as boost leaks or running “rich”? I have a HKS BOV I’m soon to get installed and I wanted to read others peoples experience.
